The base station may receive a first indication that the UE supports NR-CA with multiple PUCCH groups or NR-DC with multiple cell groups and a second indication that the UE does not support simultaneous Rx/Tx in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, and schedule communication with the UE to avoid scheduling the simultaneous Rx/Tx based on the first and second indications. The base station may avoid scheduling simultaneous Rx/Tx in a first cell group or a first PUCCH group including the first frequency band and a second cell group or a second PUCCH group including the second frequency band. The UE may skip reporting to the base station that the UE supports the NR-DC or the NR-CA with the first frequency band and the second frequency band.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first indication indicates that the UE supports the NR-DC, and the second indication indicates that the UE does not support the simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band and the second frequency band with at least one of the first frequency band and the second frequency band being a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first indication indicates that the UE supports the NR-DC, and the second indication indicates that the UE does not support the simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band and the second frequency band with at least one of the first frequency band and the second frequency band being a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier.
16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the first indication indicates that the UE supports the NR-DC, and the second indication indicates that the UE does not support the simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band and the second frequency band with at least one of the first frequency band and the second frequency band being a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier.
17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein, to schedule the communication with the UE, the at least one processor is configured to avoid scheduling the UE for simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band as a first carrier type in a first cell group and the second frequency band as a second carrier type in a second cell group, the first carrier type being the SUL carrier and the second carrier type being a non-SUL carrier.
25. The method of claim 24, wherein the first indication indicates that the UE supports the NR-DC, and scheduling the communication with the UE includes avoiding scheduling the UE for simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band in a first cell group and the second frequency band in a second cell group.
26. The method of claim 24, wherein the first indication indicates that the UE supports the NR-CA, and scheduling the communication with the UE includes avoiding scheduling the UE for simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band in a first PUCCH group and the second frequency band in a second PUCCH group.
27. The method of claim 24, wherein the first indication indicates that the UE supports the NR-DC, and the second indication indicates that the UE does not support the simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band and the second frequency band with at least one of the first frequency band and the second frequency band being a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier.
28. The method of claim 27, wherein scheduling the communication with the UE includes avoiding scheduling the UE for simultaneous Rx/Tx the first frequency band as a first carrier type in a first cell group and the second frequency band as a second carrier type in a second cell group, the first carrier type being the SUL carrier and the second carrier type being a non-SUL carrier.
